Book thief meets his match

A New York City book thief met in his match in Donald Davis of East Village Books in St Mark’s Place, who was a wrestler in high school. The NY Post reports. Three cheers for Donald.

(Let’s the hope the thief gets thrown in the Big House where the tough guys will ask what his crime was and he’ll reply: “I robbed libraries and sold the books to bookstores.” And the hard men will ask how he got caught and our thief will reply: “this bookstore guy kicked my ass.”)
